Only ever done them onto the grass area at the airfield where I am based. Fastest to date is 50knt (training, tail drive failure).


It occurs to me that there is a big difference between an airfield you know - a surface that you know - and the unknown. I would be more likely to opt for the tarmac / concrete if I did not know for sure that the grass surface was suitable & safe.
